A call to pomade makers: Shipping costs are hindering the industry

This started out as a paragraph within a review for the latest Suavecito Fall 2017 pomade.   But I got carried away by the subject and opted to take it into a post of its own. Being in Canada, I more or less have to rely on my Canadian suppliers to purchase Suavecito products at aRead more

Two Texturizing Sea Salt Sprays

It seams like I am repeating myself a bit by always mentioning that my hair is longer.  But it is! 🙂  …and I figured that it might also be calling for a slight adjustment in the styling products.  Don’t think for a moment that pomades would be falling in disgrace.  Not a chance!  Pomade isRead more

Rocky Mountain Barber Company Face Wash – Smooth Operator

The Rocky Mountain Barber company is back with a new “face wash”.  Late last week, I got an email notification of the launch of this products. Having been impressed with Rocky Mountain products so far and almost being out of my current face wash, I ordered a bottle from Amazon. Within a day I received theRead more

BEDHEAD Flexi Head Hairspray – Cool but expensive

I was in the market for a hairspray and came across what looked like an interesting product from BED HEAD, Flexi Head Hairspray.  BED HEAD use to be my ‘Go-To” brand before I fully jumped into the pomade jar.  They make good products and my experience has generally been positive.  The pitch for this productRead more

A Visit at Hair Junkie

Over the past year I have visited and written about a good number of Barber Shop as well as hair and shaving products.  But I realized that I had not written about my very own “go-to” and favorite hair place; Hair Junkie on Laurier Street in downtown Ottawa.  If it wasn’t for this place theRead more

Suavecito Talcum Powder

This morning I am testing another product from Suavecito, their new talcum powder.  Loving all things Suavecito, it was just a question of time before I got my testing hands on a bottle of this stuff. To purchase a bottle of this talc, I turned to my local Suavecito supplier, Not your Father’s Barber.  TheRead more

AXE Denim Talc

As of late I have tried a good number of products for which I have not had time to write posts for.  This is a bit of a catching up phase. Some months ago when I tried the Pinaud-Clubman talc I was so impressed that I started looking for more brands making talc.  Most ofRead more

REUZEL Grooming Tonic – A Slightly Sticky Preparation Tonic

As mentioned in my last post, I am catching up on weeks/months of products accumulation and testing.  This post is about the new REUZEL Grooming Tonic. The Rotterdam Scumbags (Bertus and Leen) have expanded their product offering by adding a “Grooming Tonic” to the REUZEL line.  I was made aware of this addition by readingRead more

Marc Anthony Argan Oil Hairspray

This post is somewhat after the fact.  I have been using the Marc Anthony argan oil hairspray on and off for a number of months now and realized that I had not given it a place on the site.  This hairspray deserves a post for two reasons: First, of the hairspray I have tried outRead more

Free Sample – Think Again

  This post is somewhat outside of the normal Style4Men activities, but since allot of what we do is review and refers on-line vendors, it would also makes sense to warn you of the nasty scams surrounding something as benign as requesting a free sample. There used to be a time when product makers handedRead more
